Sylvia Plath
drive and ambition

Plath is proud and ambitious, and she strives to excel, to stand out and be recognized for who and what she is. Sylvia Plath has a very strong ego drive and likes to be Number One. Sylvia finds it difficult to take orders from others or to stay in the background, and she hates being wrong; Sylvia Plath always insists that she is right!

She is forceful, strong, energetic, determined, and highly competitive. Sylvia Plath plays hard, she plays to win, and she does not give up easily. In fact, she sees life as a competitive sport or performance. Sylvia loves admiration and applause, and she has a strong sense of personal honor and integrity. Sylvia Plath tends to be very self-confident, even arrogant. Because of her belief in herself, Sylvia is able to accomplish much, but if her confidence is ever undermined, Sylvia Plath becomes self-conscious, defensive, and rather belligerent.

Sylvia Plath expects to work hard for anything she accomplishes and she has no patience for people who do not pull their own weight. Work is a passion for Sylvia at times, and she pushes herself too hard. Plath can also be too demanding of the people she works with.

If her energy is not invested in a job or career, Sylvia Plath can become fanatic about her health, and may exercise or "work out" vigorously and perhaps excessively.

She is dynamic, decisive, and somewhat impulsive. Sylvia Plath responds quickly and spontaneously to challenges, and enjoys vigorous physical activities that require fast reflexes and a good sense of rhythm and timing. Sylvia has an abundance of energy and vitality, and a restless desire to see progress and change - she hates stagnation. She is individualistic and makes a good leader, spearheading new projects and inspiring others to act.

Sylvia Plath has a great talent for organizing projects and the ability to inspire others with her enthusiasm. Having the urge to achieve, Sylvia Plath is capable of tremendous effort and uses all the energy at her disposal to gain success with her objectives.

She is likely to feel depressed frequently and has a strong desire to overcome it, but may not be able to count on much support from others. Sylvia Plath tends to separate herself from others and she feels like being expelled from society.

Sylvia has grand aspirations and may be inordinately ambitious at times. That is, she is apt to be discontent with small successes and to feel like a failure unless she achieves extraordinary things. Sylvia Plath should avoid get-rich-quick schemes which promise tremendous returns for little energy expenditure. Even if they do seem to succeed, Plath's ideals and values could be compromised.

Indecision and confusion over her ambitions or direction in life may hold Sylvia back from achieving anything solid, especially in her early life. She is very much a dreamer and her interests and inclinations may not translate very readily into concrete goals. Personal glory or accomplishment can never be Plath's sole motivation or drive in life. Ministering to others in some way may be her calling, however. Or Sylvia Plath could use her dreamy, imaginative energies in creative ways - the arts, music or entertainment field.

Sylvia Plath strives to be at one with others, but somehow is not able to synchronize her feelings or viewpoints with them. Feeling disappointed, Sylvia may prefer a life in seclusion and away from other people.
